PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2025-01-03 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
This proposal would repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, with a stated effective date of October 1, 2025. It would also restore provisions those laws changed or repealed, as though neither law had been enacted. Its reach would therefore include people and organizations governed by both laws and the earlier provisions restored by repeal.
(a) Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Effective October 1, 2025, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111–148) is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.
(b) Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 Effective October 1, 2025, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111–152) is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.
Section 2(a) would repeal the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on October 1, 2025. It would also bring back the earlier versions of provisions that Act amended and revive provisions it repealed.
(a) Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Effective October 1, 2025, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111–148) is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.
Section 2(b) would separately repeal the entire Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 on October 1, 2025. It would likewise restore provisions that Act amended or repealed, as though it had not been enacted.
(b) Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 Effective October 1, 2025, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law 111–152) is repealed, and the provisions of law amended or repealed by such Act are restored or revived as if such Act had not been enacted.
